Ummm. What is going on? I have seen three different topics for today....and I've only seen three blogs' posts! Has this turned into a free-for-all smorgasbord? Hmmm...

Anyway, I totally agree with the oft-cliched "write what you know" remark. As a teacher responsible for teaching specific writing skills and how to write different genres, I tell my students to look to their lives for inspiration - write what you know. They often don't like that "brush off" answer when they ask me what to write about. They do this because it has been ingrained in them by standardized testing that there is a "right" answer to everything, so obviously there is only ONE right answer in writing - and they are afraid to be wrong. Afraid to experiment, try, manipulate words. They are afraid to be creative, to take risks.

If I wrote a book, it would most likely be women's fiction. There are many experiences in my life to pull from and create a character just like me. Or a character who is nothing like me.
